1/3 Reading US Presidential Candidate Senator Sanders’ platform on China and noticed he provided a citation for his claim China uses cheap child labour to undercut adult American workers. Followed the hyperlink and learned the most egregious thing about his claim on child labour:

2/3 Turns out it was not a story on China utilising child labour but actually a story on China ELIMINATING child labour. A capitalist company was illegally luring children just a year or two below the legal employable age and was punished when caught. The claim =/= citation.

3/3 Imperialists WILL LIE TO YOU, even your “progressive” ones. US cultural hegemony and exploitation are based on these very lies.
